Donyell Marshall would've been PICTURE PERFECT for this series.
We will see if Javtokas and Scola are the answers.
You're telling me you'd rather have some Euro-league center than him? Not every center/post player will be as good as Shaq or Duncan. Randolph >>>> any other big man aside from Duncan the Spurs have.
Spurs need some big moves if they want to compete with a team like Dallas, because Dallas proved they have a young core that works.
Tim, Tony, Manu, Bruce and probably Finley are safe. Everyone else is game.
I hereby declare the start of the Spurs youth movement and Slovenian house cleaning.
Barry started off playing fine in this series but he kept getting jobbed by the refs when he was trying to draw charges...and effected his game....
Last year everyone ed about his passes but to me they always made sense...
Since about game 3 in this series his passes have sucked and he's looked like he didn't even want to be on the court...it didn't effect his shooting until tonight....but tonight his shooting went too...
Seriously...I think he has had about 3 games of 3 TO's in this series alone...
Last year I think he had 3 games of 3 TO's for the entire season.
He was just different...his shooting was fine until tonight...but he did not help our offense this series like he did last year when he passed smart and didn't force .
And I haven't ever seen Barry miss a J that wide open when it was a big shot like tonight...
He let the all the bad blocking calls on him effect his game and got progressively worse in this series...and he did not show up to play tonight. And we needed him too...
Because as bad as Barry played...NVE was 10 times worse. I've never seen NVE afraid to shoot in his life...until tonight.
Parker also NEVER got a break. He had to play for France in off season.
He and Manu friggin tired... mentally too.
We will be fine with some Bench adjustments... As long as Timmy's healthy we will get more chances in the next 3-4 years.
Why do people still want Barry traded? His game 2 heroics in the first round weren't impressive enough? The way I see it:
Barry game-tying/game winning shots: 1
Rest of team: 0
Please guys, lay off him. Especially at a time like this, there is no reason why the Spurs should trade someone like him.
Miss the second round and the last two years of his absolute NOTHINGNESS!
He had 1 good game, whoooppieeeee
Give me a break.
Adios Brent, failed FA number 2 in 2 years straight.
I like him very much but he is not the answer for Dirk or run and gun team. He may be a good answer for Shaq or Ming though. Steven Hunter may be better as compared with him.
Euro center = 1-2 million a year
NO defense fat lazy PF = 12 million a year
3-4 years? Not unless they get younger players. Their bench is probably the best in the league, but only for a year or two. They honestly have to make some moves to get a big body upfront to side with Duncan.
I think the keys will be to find a quality backup point guard, the ever elusive long/big 3 and perhaps a more athletic big who can play some on the perimeter. It's not like this team was that far off (OT Game 7?). Some tweaking to do and they've got the tools to do it.

Ill take Scola or Javtokas over Rnadolph.
HE HAS A MAX CONTRACT!!!
THats right, he makes JUST AS MUCH AS DUNCAN
That means you trade Parker along with someone else.
No thank you, that injury prone no defense playing peanut head can rot in portland.
spurs offseason moves:
c nazr
pf tim duncan
sf bruce bowen
sg manu
pg tony parker
bench
sg finley
pg claxton
pf scola or javtokas
g jr smith
f tim thomas/nocioni
pf horry
pg udrih
and for the 13th spot some project cat we can work on
And how well did Oberto work out?
I love the Argentina team, but the NBA is a different ballgame. Nazr has flashes of brilliance one every 12 games, but that is not going to cut it. Rasho, way too soft, but is a good defender, not good for teams with rough big men or quick athletic guys.
Agreed. Nothing against the Euro players, but it's obvious that we need more young, athleticism on this team. I'm not sure they're that many Euro players that fit the bill for our immediate needs. I could be wrong and if so, someone enlighten me.
This is not the time for the Spurs to continue building a roster soley based on the Argentina Olympic team. They need other parts.
Ideally, the Knicks eat Rose's contract and the Spurs bring him back.
coming from a mavs fan, only subtle adjustments need to be made by the spurs.
if i were san antonio, i would do whatever it took to sign speedy claxton to a contract for the MLE. he and parker would kill as a 1-2 punch at the 1 spot.
just my humble opinion.
Doesn't look good for the Spurs. With Manu's ty endurance and aging, I don't see the Spurs improving at all. Probably another injury riddled season next year. Spurs will just be another team amongst several other elite teams (provided Amare, Tmac, Shaq) are healthy etc....
I see no way that we can get Randolph.
Give you a break? First, try giving Barry a break. Making him a scapegoat is just ridiculous...
Guys stop freaking out lol, I am no enemy. I am just saying what's on everybody's minds. Spurs need:
More consistancy (less droughts of offense and no defensive struggles)
Good big men (a real lack of those around I know)
To get younger and more athletic (JR Smith trade is a must, he will be a great player)
Randolph was just a suggestion. He's a good player, he will likely do better if not the first option but a third on offense. It was just a mere suggestion to get a player like him and I'm jumped on.
Spurs need to get results now, because if they keep banking on the fact they HAD a great team of great players, we'll get familiar with semi final loses.
Who the would we get in return for barry?
maybe nazr + barry
the answer is obvioulsy the dominate recardnation of an david robinson in ian.
tim is a center and ian is our new PF
the problem is the ian won't be here next season but the season after that. Have to wait sucks. But having david and wiating for tim was worth it.
If you can move Barry for JR Smith, you do that. You have Finley to be your primary swing reserve. You also have the opportunity to bring back Devin Brown who fits your system well. The Spurs can get a little younger and deeper in the perimeter rotation. They also need to get a legit backup point. I don't think Udrih is the answer.
Yeah being one of the elite teams is terrible, what?
